And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread." But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve." "Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven." So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?" Mark 8:16-21 (NKJV) A word received: I have been your provider all these years; why do you still doubt?

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. Galatians 4:28 (NKJV) Holy Spirit, help me daily become a child of promise.

And the LORD said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. Jeremiah 14:14 (NKJV) Lord GOD, there are so many false prophets in the land; have mercy on us.

We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness and the iniquity of our fathers, for we have sinned against You. Jeremiah 14:20 (NKJV) Holy Spirit, please help us acknowledge our sins before you.

How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young -- even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God. Psalm 84:1-3 (NKJV) LORD, help me find rest by your altar.

A word received: Look to me with hope and expectation.
